Elon Musk announced on May 22 that Tesla has paid off all US loans ($452 million) 9 years earlier than required. Last week he also announced they plan to triple the number of recharging station nationwide, enabling coast-to-coast trips by the end of the year. If you're Tesla owner, you don't have to pay for the charge. Cool!

I drive by Tesla's Factory every other day and, yeah, I see more activities going on. It gives us hope. Especially after seeing the legendary NUMMI plant shut down and 4700 great workers lose their jobs. A minute's drive down the highway, you see Solyndra's empty campus.
